The Next Generation of Password Management
Today’s Featured BizSpark Startup is Passwork from Russia
Passwork is a next generation password manager for corporations and IT professionals.
Microsoft BizSpark startup Passwork is like a Dropbox for passwords. It offers a simple, secure interface for business users to share passwords, pin codes, access and other critical information in a structured manner. Businesses with an administrator who is retiring, for instance, can store information safely through Passwork rather than leave it in the mind of the administrator.
Iliya Garakh, founder, says his company built an open source solutions (OSS) stack as the foundation. Linux, Apache, Nginx, MongoDB and PHP comprise the bulk of the stack. When it came to hosting, Passwork chose Microsoft Azure.
“Using OSS on Azure is very convenient to manage,” he says, “and it makes it much easier to support our infrastructure than if we used dedicated servers. We can handle all our issues and Azure helps us keep the same level of solution quality, security and more.”
The startup also uses the Windows stack for everyday tasks.
“We use Office and Visual Studio,” he says, “because they integrate excellently with Azure. The combination helps us concentrate on product development and not waste time on unimportant issues.”
The next generation password manager for companies and IT professionals is here – and it’s powered by Microsoft Azure.
